OK, I was able to verify it now, made a mistake earlier. I'll let
somebody else decide if this is desired behaviour.
Steps to reproduce:
$ echo "test" |xz > /tmp/test.txt.xz
$ chmod 444 /tmp/test.txt.xz
$ unxz /tmp/test.txt.xz
$ ls -la /tmp/test.txt*
-r--r--r-- 1 rolf rolf 5 Jun 4 13:06 /tmp/test.txt
gunzip exhibits the same behaviour, by the way.

Title:
xz should warn before overwriting read-only files
Status in xz-utils package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
running xz --decompress (unxz) on a readonly file will not show any
warning before writing over the file and changing the extension.
This is technically expected behaviour but not sympathetic to the end
user.
